OpenSSL 1.1.1l update fixing two vulnerabilities

Posted on

An updated release of the OpenSSL cryptographic library 1.1.1l is now available, addressing two vulnerabilities: CVE-2021-3711 — a buffer overflow in the code implementing the SM2 cryptographic algorithm (widely used in China), which allows up to 62 bytes to be overwritten in an out-of-bounds buffer due to a miscalculation of the buffer size. An attacker could potentially achieve arbitrary code execution or crash the application by sending specially crafted […]

Release of emulator QEMU 6.1

Posted on

The release of QEMU 6.1 has been announced. As an emulator, QEMU allows running programs compiled for one hardware platform on a system with a completely different architecture, for example, executing an application for ARM on an x86-compatible PC. In virtualization mode, QEMU's code execution performance in an isolated environment approaches that of a physical system thanks to the direct execution of instructions on the CPU and leveraging […]

Release of payment system GNU Taler 0.8, developed by the GNU project

Posted on

The GNU project has released version 0.8 of the GNU Taler electronic payment system. A key feature of the system is that it provides anonymity for buyers while ensuring that sellers are not anonymous, thereby ensuring transparency in tax reporting. That means the system does not allow tracking user spending, but it provides the means to track incoming funds (the sender remains anonymous), addressing inherent […]
